We're busy getting ready for the new school year.
- Tomorrow is the last day of fee collections; Mrs. Duarte will resume collections after the first two weeks of school.
- We've ordered the last of our mobile carts so that we can deploy our new Chromebooks in almost every core teacher's classroom.
- Teachers have been coming in on their own time to set up their classrooms and curriculum for students; they have also been attending classes and professional development opportunities to sharpen their skills
Our 9th grade students and their English teachers will be piloting a new program at WHS with Leadership Kauai (LK) this year. We want every student to understand that he/she is a leader, has the capacity to lead, and has a responsibility to find a place to lead at Waimea. Our 9th grade teachers will have an orientation with LK staff before school starts to introduce them to the program and to find touch points between their curriculum, Common Core State Standards, and the SpringBoard curriculum that is used in English. It's pretty exciting stuff!
Finally, for those of you who are Facebook, we have an official WHS page now.... so you can keep up with what's happening at school through our school website http://www2.waimeahighschool.org/, this blog, or through FB on The Waimea High School
Just a reminder -- 9th graders report to school on July 28th; all students report on the 29th.
Have a good week!
Mrs. Anguay
